hey I have an extensive music and video library all controlled by iTunes but the music is actually served to my hifi by SqueezeCenter. In order to get SqueezeCenter to work properly I have to "uncheck" all the movies and TV shows in iTunes. Is it possible to have an option to set the files as unchecked on import?

Hey No not the "mark as new" flag, the actually little check mark that appears just before the entry in itunes. I use that in Squeezebox so that I can skip unwanted content. I'm sure there used to be an iTunes setting to skip unchecked content on playback too, but I just looked and can't find it anywhere.
